Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Zach LaVine gave some late Valentine's Day presents to basketball fans Saturday night, throwing down a string of incredible slams in the NBA's All-Star dunk contest that sparked comparisons to the event's glorious heyday.
The 19-year-old LaVine scored a perfect 50 on his first two dunks of the night, one of which involved him donning a No. 23 jersey as an homage to Michael Jordan.
Here are all four of LaVine's dunks, strung back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
